The growing number of information security breaches in electronic and computing systems calls for new design paradigms that consider security as a primary design objective. This i...
Achieving high performance in cryptographic processing is important due to the increasing connectivity among today’s computers. Despite steady improvements in microprocessor and...
Branches that depend directly or indirectly on load instructions are a leading cause of mispredictions by state-of-the-art branch predictors. For a branch of this type, there is a...
We develop two simple interval-based models for dynamic superscalar processors. These models allow us to: i) predict with great accuracy performance and power consumption under va...
With advancing semiconductor technology and exponentially growing design complexities, predictability of design tools becomes an important part of a stable top-down design process...
